With just a single assist to show for his endeavours over the first three Gameweeks, Fantasy faith in Michu took a dent ahead of last Monday’s home clash with Liverpool. The Swansea midfielder shed almost 66,000 owners in the Fantasy Premier League (FPL) game and suffered a drop in price due to his lack of attacking returns but after opening his account against the Reds, he’s back on many a radar as Michael Laudrup’s side prepare for a kind upcoming run of fixtures.
Ming (Lewis)
Kosc Vidic Collins (Shaw Chester)
Walcott Lampard HBA Redmond (Brady)
RVP Benteke Giroud.
My question is: FT or save it for next week?Open Controlssave. great set.

Looking like Rooney won't rise then? 46% to go in 2 days 😕
Open Controlsunlikely
Open ControlsPleases me no end.
Open ControlsLikewise, the rate he was rising on Tuesday/Wednesday I was worrying but he's still a long way off.
Open Controls
Potentially.
Open ControlsWho for?
I expect a massive bandwagon after the City clashOpen ControlsFor Soldado I think, if he looks poor again
Open Controls
Me too, for Benteke?
Open ControlsIm thinking benteke or sturridge but I cant decide.
Liverpool fixtures look too good.
Southampton (H)
Sunderland (A)
Crystal Palace (H)
Newcastle (A)
West Brom (H)Open ControlsYeah Sturridge stays for me. Benteke is the only option.
Open Controls
Soldado. Benteke has been on fire for 9 months now.
I've not got Giroud though annoyingly.Open ControlsGood plan. Soldado hasn't really been as good as other alternatives.
Open Controls
Sorry - bottom of last page - any news on the Silva fitness situ? I'm thinking of shipping for michu...
Open ControlsNot sold on michu even with the article
Open Controlsreasons?
Open ControlsJust not convinced. Seen him in 2 games this season v united and v Liverpool and for me he didn't impress (even with the goal).
Europa league for me is going to hurt michu and Swansea in fpl. Getting him in with europa just starting does not appeal to me
Swansea will be spent after valencia and away and won't get better going forwardOpen Controls
Michu scares me. He could do real damage to my championship aspirations.
Open ControlsFor 8.9m I'm not either. Scraped only 1 BP too.
I have to be careful with him and Hazard as I'm sure they'll feature at some point and I can't be dismissive.Open Controls1 BP in a 2-2 draw though.
Open Controls
Surprised this article isn't available for the non-members 🙄
😉Open ControlsStrange, although I could write an article on Michu myself at this stage.
Open ControlsGreat read. Was touting him last week and he came good
Open ControlsPlayed very well too, back on the radar for me after it was looking like he was taking a back seat to Bony (at least vs WBA that was the case)
Open Controls
Whats the deal with Nani?
Why isn't he playing/not even on the bench for games?Open ControlsWas suspended in the CL.
No idea about GW4.Open ControlsHe is to busy signing his new contract.
Open ControlsHe does have a very long name.
Open Controls
Ask Dave. No idea. Clearly in his plans but I think it's a case of wabiting for one of the current two to fail badly
Open Controls
Mignolet - Davis
Vidic - Walker - Mertesacker - Shaw - Chester
Walcott - Lamela - Lampard - Hernandez - JWP
Benteke - Sturridge - Giroud
1FT, 0.3 in bank
Save FT?Open ControlsI'd look to ditch Pablo or jwp who isn't guarantees to play all lleague games. Still something you need with a budget mf
Open ControlsI could do Lamela & Hernandez -> Eriksen & Ben Arfa for a -1, but I feel I should give Lamela more time, and I'm wary of taking a hit
Open Controls
Bit of a strange one but bear with me...
A 4-4-2) Evra, Zaba, Mirallas, Whittingham(bench), Sturridge
B 3-4-3) Nastasic, Chester(bench), Moses, Eriksen, RooneyOpen ControlsCan any Evertonians enlighten me on their back 4? Are they likely to keep the same back 4 all season? (specifically Distin)
Open ControlsI'd sell my soul for Coleman. In fact I'd take a hit for him. He'll stay in all year.
Open Controls
Is Burner nailed on, is he he best 4m defender considering I have Mcgregor in goal so don't want another Hull
Open ControlsNo way. You must have some better options than that?
Open Controls
Off topic
Clearing out the attic and have unearthed some retro consoles in the shape of an N64, PS1 and 2. Feng sui comes over sentimental value for me, so does anyone suggest the best way of selling these items? Never done the whole Ebay scene.
Many thanksOpen ControlsEbay is the only way - thinking of getting a N64 myself, just for Golden Eye
Open ControlsYou won't get much for them. I'd hold onto them for a while longer
Open ControlsWhat country you in? Gum tree for Oz or UK. Craigslist for US.
Open ControlsDepending on where you are (ie London or not London), this place will take them of your hands I'm sure;

Hi guys, new here so wondering if that's why my previous comment never appeared in the end? Said it was being reviewed or something but that was maybe half an hour ago. Having said that, this may not show up either..!
Open Controlsgood article but it's obvious that now is right time to get Michu in
Open ControlsIt was obvious to get Michu last week.
🙄Open Controls😉
Open Controlsi told you to get him in
i would get him in myself but didnt have WC
Erisen did just fine and now i am going for MichuOpen ControlsFor Who?
Open Controls
Not really.
Against an undefeated Liverpool side who haven't conceded a lot..
Well done "Captain Hindsight "Open Controls
Has actually come close in previous games, and provided an assist. I feel many don't actually watch games and just focus on the stats.
Open Controlsyup , i wanted get him in earlier but decided to gamble on silva ( didnt know that he is confirmed out ) so i get Eriksen in
Michi is brilliant playerOpen ControlsYeah, alway got a chance of returns every game he plays. Never gives up, had a tough first half v pool but kept at it.
Open Controls
Moses or Michu is a tough choice (for the next 3).
Open ControlsHmm. Time to get a gravatar. Quick explanation anyone?
Open Controls- Open Controls
Go to Gravatar.com
Open Controls
play Clyne (liv), Chester (new), Burner (TOT)?
Open ControlsPick one to start this week please lads:
Turner (TOT)
Hangeland (che)
Chester (new)
Thanks in advance 🙂Open ControlsYikes.....Chester I suppose > Turner > Hangeland
Open Controls
What do you think is the better solution?
A: GW5 Cout > Moses, GW6 Lambert > Rooney
or
B: GW5 Cout > Michu, GW6 Whatever...
A lets me have Rooney, even though Lambert have nice fixtures.
B avoids Moses, which I think will be a weakness in my team soon enough, and Michu does look good...
Unless A, no United cover.Open ControlsA for me
Open Controls
Still think it's summer up nort! 😉
Open ControlsSame to you as well.
You're the resident Toon fan right? Any other midfield options look good fantasy wise so far aside from HBA?Open ControlsI'm certainly a toon fan. Was resident on here a while back but i'm too busy these days. No other midfield options at the moment, but I will be keeping my eye on cabeye and anita (as a 5th mid). Barfa is a must have for me at the moment
Open ControlsI'd still be tempted by sissy
Open Controls
Thank you China Mag. Start or Spring here in Oz. Days are warming up nicely.
Open ControlsIn the UK its still summer for 3 more days!!!
Open Controls
Am I mental to be considering Coleman as 9c) this week over RVP, Giroud, Tekkers. Wally and HBA?
West Ham at home just looks so darn tempting right now.Open ControlsMata surely has to start for Chelsea on Saturday?
Open ControlsMourinho's a nut case so maybe not.
Open Controls
"with only three forwards (Christian Benteke, Rickie Lambert and Daniel Sturridge, with 7 apiece) producing more shots on target than Michu’s 5."
How about comparing his shots on target with other mids.
Walcott/Adam 7
HBA/Townsend 6
Michu/Mirallas 5Open ControlsI wonder how many of Townsend/Adam and HBA to a lesser extent are pop shots that don't actually worry the keeper.
Open ControlsWhy don't you also wonder how many of Michu's are?
Open ControlsBecause Michu is a different type of player. He's not one to shoot from 25 yards out whenever he gets possession.
Open ControlsIn fact it's explained just looking at the stats;
Shots (inside box)
Ben Arfa 17 (5)
Townsend 16 (1)
Adam 11 (1)
Michu 11 (6)Open Controls
Look at shots in the box. A combination of shots in the box and shot on target are the two best indicators of goals IMO
Open Controls
Anyway of improving this please? on a wc
migs/boruc
zaba coleman evra kosc wilson
hba ozil barkley moses jwp
sturridge benteke giroud
cheers!Open Controlsappreciate the reply..any ideas who to? I've got 1.5 in bank for info for any other improvements
Open Controls
Why?
Open Controls
I would get Ivan in there.......very high average position and goals and cleanies in the pipeline.
Open Controlsi like the sound of ivan to be fair.. ref the mid being punty..i agree but normally go great mid and forwards with weak defence but this season its not working, so change of plan it is..thanks a lot!
Open Controlsi've just put ivan in for kosc and to be fair it looks a lot better so may go for it.was staying away from chelsea due to rotation but he should be safe? .thanks a lot for the replies..
Open Controlscheers..
it now reads
migs/boruc
zaba evra ivan coleman wilson
hba ozil barkley moses jwp
sturridge benteke giroud .9 in bank a lot better with a bit of cash left..just not sure about walcott or ozil at the moOpen Controls
With Coutinho out, it looks like Silva > Michu is becoming even more obvious as the deadline approaches.
Open Controlsany danger of Michu rotation with the cup games?
Open ControlsMinimal, he is their best player who will only miss through injury in my view. Not everyone is a Tinkerman 😉
Open Controls🙂
Open Controls
Just looked at the fixtures... I guess he'll play tonight, then three days later vs. Palace, then have a 6 day rest for the Arsenal game
Open Controls
Nearly vveryone on here seems so confident that Michu will continue on as before....a bit like the Mirrallas bandwagon, I'm not buying it.
I'll hold my hands up if wrong but...Open ControlsIf people can fit him in, yep!
Open Controls
Debating whether to keep Nolan this week. Madness??!
Open ControlsKeep Soldado or do Soldado to Strridge/Rooney
Open ControlsIf spurs can find some creativity it could work out well
Open Controls
I have almost built my team but I am looking for 1 average and 1 low priced midfielder to guarantee playing time to cover injuries / bans of my satrting eleven
Two options:
A- Ramsey (5.9) + Cowie (4.4) (meaning I should buy Wilson instead of Coleman I already have in defense)
B- Wittingham (5) and colback (4.5)
C- Brady (5.1) - Wittingham (5)
?
I am not sure what to think about Ramsey. What's happening when Cazorla and Arteta are back.. ?
I tend to think Ramsey will still be in the starting 11 of Arsene meaning Wilshere, Arteta and Walcott will share minutes but I am not sure about this..Open ControlsWould you ever do a -12?
Open ControlsDid it once last season. And it failed miserably
